Official Description

“

The jackhammer-like forelegs of this ruthless Boulder Class bruiser can pulverize a massive boulder in seconds, and a Viking even faster!If you hear the pitter-patter of dragon feet in battle, you'd better run; the Thunderpede is on its way!

This Boulder Class Bruiser is like no other, showing unrivaled strength in its abilities to pulverize boulders with their large and boisterous bodies; not to mention its many fast-moving legs. And although it is not known for being the speediest of fliers, the Thunderpede makes up for that particular weakness in its overall physical, and brute strength.

The Thunderpede is one of the few dragon species with more than 6 limbs (4 legs and 2 wings), with a total of 10 limbs (8 arms and legs and 2 wings). This large-sized dragon's legs are small and scrawny while its arms are big and strong. The jackhammer-like forelegs of this ruthless Boulder Class bruiser can pulverize a massive boulder in seconds, and a Viking even faster! Just like the legs, the wings of this dragon are small for its size (like in many other Boulder Class dragons) but can flap in a great speed. It has a creamy underbelly and a crimson coloration on the back.

Titan Wing Thunderpedes are dark orange in color. Their scales show up more prominently and there are a few brown stripes along its back. They appear to have strong, hard plates on their chest in between their massive forearms with three razor-sharp claws. Titan Thunderpedes have three large canines on their lower jaw and spikes on the top of their snout, neck, and tail. They also have fairly small wings.

Abilities

Strong Forearms

The Thunderpede has strong forearms that it uses to pulverize objects, such as Vikings and boulders. It can use them to attack or defend. These limbs are incredibly muscular and they possess three massive, sharp claws on each one. They use them to pulverize large boulders into fine, small bits, giving it its position in the Boulder Class. They were also used to build defenses by crushing boulders, as mentioned in School of Dragons.

Like many Boulder Class dragons, the Thunderpede blasts small balls of fire at its opponents. The fire is powerful enough to melt rocks.

Strength and Combat

Comsidering the very small wings compared to its body, the Thunderpede is quite a powerful dragon, since it is capable of flight.

As mentioned in Stonewall's description, a single Thunderpede is able to take on an entire fleet of Dragon Hunters, something that few dragons are capable of.

As mentioned in Goliam's description, a single hit to the ground by a Thunderpede can knock down a Viking or even level a house.

Behaviour and Personality

Thunderpedes are social dragons, which live in groups, which are led by an Alpha. They communicate through signs involving stomping and gesturing with their front limbs. However, they usually only want their belly rubbed.

Thunderpedes sleep in caves on a foam-like substance to keep their belly soft. They keep rock gardens in their lairs either as food or as decorations.

Weakness

Thunderpedes aren't very stealthy because their feet make a loud 'pitter-patter' noise when they are walking (or running), which gives you a chance to escape.

The soft belly of the Thunderpede could be considered its weak spot, as it is not as well armored and can be attacked without as much effort.
